Quantum technologies, devices that work by leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical technologies in ...

A new experiment pulled off the most precise measurement of an electron’s self-generated magnetic field—and the universe’s subatomic model is at stake.

A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment 1 — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. The electron ...

Scientists call this "electron spin" -- the magnetic moment associated with each electron -- because each electron is a negatively charged particle that behaves as though it were rapidly spinning ...

The standard way of calculating the electron's magnetic moment using the Dirac equation leads to a value known as the Bohr magneton, named after the Danish physicist Niels Bohr.

By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology ...

When these spin currents interact with a thin magnetic layer, they transfer their angular momentum and generate enough torque to switch the magnetization 180 degrees.

Ignoring for a moment the weirdness of the quantum world, the electron can be thought of as a tiny rotating bar magnet with two possible orientations: spin-up or spin-down. Engineers can distinguish ...

So, when an electron moves in the electric field of another electron, this special relativistic effect results in the moving electron interacting with a magnetic field, and hence with the electron ...

To investigate these magnetic properties, Imamoğlu and his coworkers measured whether for a certain electron filling the moiré material was paramagnetic, with its magnetic moments randomly ...
